A Sheriff Deputy on duty in the area around 11:30 PM Tuesday night noticed a car parked in the lot and because of prior trespassing issues decided to check out the situation. When the officer reached the vehicle he noticed a man laying in the back sat. At that time he tried to make contact with the subject, later identified as 27 year old Wesley Eckardt of North San Juan. After banging on the window several times with no response, the deputy opened the door.
